If you're saying her Floking articles are hideous, I agree. If you're saying the turgid "columns" of this putative conservative compare to THE Misanthrope's you're way off. Florence King can write. Kathleen Parker's writing, whatever the subject, is just putrid.

Perhaps dyslexic rather than disjointed might have been a better term.

I find Parker most interesting when she sticks to the small issues; only read her when the local rag sticks her in.

King was a true artist of the ascerbic genre; left her foes bleeding from every pore, sticky little left when she was done.

I have to agree. Florence King is out of her mind, but she is a brilliant writer. I almost need CPR while her reading her imitation of Ayn Rand.

Kathleen Parker can write coherent sentences with subjects and verbs and all that. So can my 12-year-old. His are about reptiles while hers are about Obama ... and about how women “need” abortion on demand.
